Booster Systems
Booster Connector
Our Booster Connector is a high quality product manufactured entirely from intrinsically corrosion – resistant materials, and utilizes ‘O’ – Ring technology to ensure durable leak-proof and trouble-free operation. Its internal valve design provides efficient water flow at all normal operating pressures and its tapered thread overcomes the jointing problems that have always been associated with the installation of Fire Brigade Booster Connector.
Fire Hydrant Valve
A Fire Hydrant Valve is a pipe fitting that help to regulate, direct or control the flow of fire suppressing agents by opening, closing or partially obstructing passageways in the hose connectors. Non-return valves stop the fire-suppressing agent from flowing in the wrong direction.
Our fire hydrant valves are made from the finest materials in the industry. With the hose attached to the fire hydrant, the valve can be opened to provide a powerful flow of water to extinguish a fire.
Fire hydrant valves provides access to water supply for the purpose of fighting fires. The water supply may be pressurized or unpressurized. Every hydrant has one or more outlet to which a hose may be connected.
Most fire hydrant valves are not designed to throttle the water flow; they are designed to be operated full-on or full-off. The arrangement of most dry-barrel hydrants is for the drain valve to be open at anything other than full operation. Usage at partial opening can consequently result in considerable flow directly into the soil surrounding the hydrant, which, over time, can cause severe scouring. Where a hose has a closed nozzle valve, or connects to a fire truck or closed gate valve, one must always attach the hose to the hydrant before opening the hydrant’s main valve.
There are 5 at least different types of valves to choose from.
Lay Flat Fire Hose
Our Lay Flat Hose is a non-percolating hose with a robust, all-synthetic jacket. It is designed for use by fire brigades and industry with great benefits and cost saving features. The coating allows the hose to be simply wiped clean after use and enhances abrasion resistance and increases the life of the hose. The PVC/Nitrile coating gives improved protection against oil and chemical contamination and has increased resistance to chemicals and oils. The new generation hose is lighter, and has a smaller coil diameter than the conventional latex lined hose. Available in long lengths on request (SABS 1456 Part 4 approved)
